Corporate Membership is open to the public and rosaceans are welcome
- Corporate members must be polite and respectful to fellow members taking into consideration the individual fellow member''s religious, ethical, and cultural values, as well as race and sex. The institute determines what is polite and respectful and may or may not give warnings for violating this rule. Removal from the membership is possible for violating this rule. It is a privilege to be a member of the RRDi and not a right.
- To be a legal corporate member a name, mailing address, two email addresses, and a statement of whether the member is a rosacean or not a rosacean is required.
- Members may not profit from the institute; however, the Medical Advisory Committee members or other members may be compensated for services to the institute.
- Members who sell items or services for rosacea may comment on a product, book or service sold by the member when another member asks for information. However, the institute may at any time stop the discussion, delete the posts or ban the member at the sole discretion of the institute. Warnings may or may not be given to the member by the institute. Profiting from contacts of fellow members through the institute is not the purpose of this non profit institute. However, information is acceptable to post when asked and appropriate comments are allowed subject to the approval by the institute.
- Members should state if they have a diagnosis of rosacea from a physician and failure to discuss this may be grounds for dismissal as a member. The institute needs to know which members are rosaceans to determine the percentage of members who have a diagnosis of rosacea from a physician.
- Privacy is of concern to the institute. Names, mailing and email addresses are not given out to the public or to fellow members by the institute. Members should not release names, mailing or email addresses of fellow members without the consent of the fellow member. A Privacy Policy is available for the public. Members who donate to the institute will be listed with their name and the amount unless the donor requests anonymity. If you want to remain anonymous please let the institute know when you donate otherwise your name will be posted without any address, phone, or email address. Corporate members are required to reveal their name, mailing address, two email addresses, and whether the member is a rosacean or not to the RRDi to be a legal member of the corporation.
- Corporate Members will adhere, agree to and obey the Charter, Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, the Conclict of Interest Policy and these Rules of the Institute. Violation of any of these rules may be grounds for being removed as a corporate member.
